Course Description As individuals we are defined by relationships, by our connection to people, places, and things. Such connectedness can be not only emotional and erotic but also political, environmental, and even textual, enacted through writing. In this course we explore the nature and meaning of such connections in ten major works of narrative fiction from the 18th century to the present. These are: Manon Lescaut by Abbé Prévost; two works by Herman Melville, Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street and Benito Cereno; Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre; two stories by Franz Kafka, “The Metamorphosis” and “A Country Doctor”; Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse; William Faulkner’s Light in August; an anthology of stories, Ficciones, by Jorge Luis Borges; The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas; Toni Morrison’s Beloved; and finally Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee. As this course will demonstrate, the most critical relationships in our lives—the web of connections that defines us—are not always easy to get a fix on, but literature offers us a special sighting on these arrangements. Through exploratory readings of these narrative works, the course will seek to make relationship visible, bringing our traffic with the world and with others into clearer focus. లింక్: https://class.coursera.org/relationship-002
